Happy Chinese New Year of the Rat!
Lunar New Year is January, 25, 2020 this year, so today I am doing a special Chinese New Year episode!
The Year of the Rat is the first zodiac sign in the Chinese zodiac cycle. According to the Chinese zodiac story, in the competition held by the Jade Emperor to decide the zodiac animals, the quick-witted rat asked the diligent ox to take him on a ride to cross the river and jumped down before the ox crossed the finish line, so the rat won the race and became the first of the zodiac animals.

Wah Lum celebrates new year with the local community by performing lion dance and kung fu shows. We don’t leave out the firecrackers and loud music playing to ‘scare off the evil spirits’ either!
As per tradition, we will be celebrating for the next two weeks, and we encourage anyone in the Central Florida area to come out and see a show! Full schedule can be found HERE.
Oscar joins me today and discusses some great habit building and accountability techniques for those ‘new year resolutions’! Also – what do Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Splinter have to do with Lunar New Year?
